Presidents Cup 2026: Internationals Take Historic Lead Into Sunday Singles

The Stakes at Medinah

Entering the final day of competition at the historic Illinois venue, the International side finds itself in uncharted territory. For the first time in event history, the visiting team carries a lead into Sunday while playing on foreign soil. Saturday’s sessions saw the International squad secure a 2-2 split in afternoon Foursomes, driven by late rallies from the all-Canadian pairing of Corey Conners and Nick Taylor alongside Ryan Fox and Min Woo Lee, which built upon the three-point margin established after earlier play.

The historical weight of the tournament hangs heavily over the course. The U.S. Team holds an overall 13-1-1 advantage in the biennial competition, with the Internationals seeking only their second victory ever and their first since 1998. Medinah Country Club Course No. 3, which previously hosted the 2012 Ryder Cup, two PGA Championships, and three U.S. Opens, now serves as the backdrop for a potential historic breakthrough.
